Hillary Is An Idiot
Just a couple of days after the 32nd anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized the murder of unborn children up to and during delivery, Hillary Clinton has the audacity to come out and make a speech about how we need to find some common ground so that we can make abortion safe, legal…

You’d Think Maniacs Would Be More Enthusiastic
You would… Wouldn’t you? Well, I guess it’s not a matter of enthusiasm so much as a hectic schedule. I had hoped when we opened the Maniacs Blog to the local core group, it would cover any lapse in blogging by any one of us. So much for that. I know that the three actual…

Merry Christmas Everyone!
It’s now the day after Christmas and all through the house… There’s STUFF and bits and wrapping paper! Though we didn’t go too overboard this year, it was still too much I think. As a kid I used to so look forward to Christmas. Not long ago I dreaded it. I couldn’t stand the commercialization…

Thoughts on Marriage, Divorce and Declarations of Nullity
Recently, I had a couple of conversations with people about divorce in the Church. One was with a wonderful lady who is a Director of Religious Ed. Unlike many DRE’s she seems to really have her act together regarding the faith. It’s not about experimentation. She’s all about teaching how to live out the faith…

More Proof of European Culture Downturns
OK… We all have seen the reality shows, or at least seen them advertised. I never have chosen to watch one myself beyond the ones I see when my wife is watching TV. She prefers the makeover types as opposed to Surviror, etc. Here in the USA we have had Temptation Island which was designed…

Post Election Stuff
Well, I don’t know about the rest of you; but I was pretty ecstatic over the election results nationwide. There were a few exceptions though. I must admit that the Maniacs were rooting for Specter to lose in PA when it looked like he was behind by a lot. Thought it would teach the old…

Values and Decision Making
In an older blog post I posited that having bad values and positions on the life issues calls into question a person’s ability to lead an ethical and moral life. I want to revisit that today in terms of the election and the two candidates for President. I believe that when you respect life from…

The Election
This past week I have spent a lot of time watching movies and TV (furthering the notion that there’s almost NOTHING worth watching on TV and we don’t get EWTN) and surfing the internet tracking the polls and campaign news. As the Election approaches, the one thing that comes to mind is that I can’t…

Fric Still has 10 Toes
Yep. All 10. Why is this even a question? Well, my right foot lost a skirmish with a running lawn mower (thereby necessitating my return of my Mensa membership card) last Sunday afternoon. At the energency room when the shoe finally came off, I counted to 5 on that foot and was much relieved. So…

Where’s Everyone At?
OK… OK… I don’t know about the rest of the Maniacs, but my schedule has been crazy with 3 hours a day taken up by a drive to another city each day. Very draining physically and mentally. There are times I have wanted to blog, but couldn’t the synapses to fire between my brain and…
